On October 9, 2019, Veronica Brill (lead photo) was a guest on Joey Ingram's podcast. Brill, tweeting as Veronica 2.0 and using TwoPlusTwo under the username Angry_Polak, was the one to blow the whistle on Mike Postle, suggesting he may have been cheating in the Stones Live cash games.

In the hour and forty minutes long podcast, Brill shares how the experience has been from deciding to speak up to the ensuing criticism and support she has received. She also spoke at length about her beliefs regarding potential involvement by Stones' tournament director Justin Kuraitis, whom she once trusted.

In the show that often focused more on Kuraitis than Postle, Brill also shared that it was Kuraitis who operated both the @StonesGambling and @StonesLivePoker twitter accounts. When the story first broke, those accounts tweeted the initial denial and called the accusations fabricated.

Brill was surprised by several players who opted to not join in on the lawsuit that was filed. While Ingram commented that he had heard that some players had chosen to file their own suit instead of joining the class-action headed by Mac Verstandig, it still made Brill wonder. For more information on the lawsuit and those involved, see our dedicated article 'Mike Postle, Stones Parties Hit With $10M Lawsuit' and watch Mac Verstandig's interview with Jonathan Little.

Brill was generally calm and collected in the interview but did get fired up several times discussing the whole ordeal. She got especially angry recalling how it was Postle that convinced her to invite Kevin "Racks" Roster on the game. The latter lived his dying wish to play more poker while suffering from sarcoma, a rare and ultra-aggressive form of cancer that he was plagued with. At the end of July this year, Roster exercised his option to use medical aid in dying to end his suffering.

Brill has been praised by many for taking the risks involved in being the whistleblower in the case, including in an October 8th opinion piece on CardPlayer, where WSOP bracelet winner Gavin Griffin hailed Brill as a real local hero.

While she received plenty of praise as well in the podcast appearance, Ingram wondered why she participated in inviting Matt Berkey, Christian Soto, and Marle Cordeiro to play on the stream with Postle, when she already had her doubts about the latter. She explained why she kept her suspicions to herself when the high rollers rolled into town, but soon after decided it was time to speak up.
